Features of this Product
The SUPER AFC II is a fuel adjustment controller in which the airflow sensor signal or the p ressure sensor signal can be modified in a 12 point RPM range by 1% increments to increas e/decrease fuel in a range of +50% to −50%. The RPM to be corrected can be optionally se t in 200 RPM increments, and corrections can be made according to throttle opening amoun ts. In a turbo equipped vehicle with a hot wire type airflow meter, this controller provides a preventive function for engine stall due to blow-back during throttle return. The controller, which includes a knocking meter, allows the monitoring of knock levels check keeping the en gine under its optimum condition at all times. (Vehicle must have a factory knock sensor)
■Unconventional large screen monitor using a high-brightness VFD
The futuristic front face of this unit uses the large screen, high-brightness and easy to read VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display)
Use of the dot-matrix large screen monitor allows the displaying several types of information simultaneously. Display variations are not limited to only numeric value display, but also graph display, analog display, and other various displays are shown.
This allows the driver to recognize important information in an instant
■Utilizes a thin case and single button
A thin case of 52mm(L) × 126mm(W) × 18mm(D) (Minimum) has been achieved by op timization of the circuit board and case design. The product can be easily installed on t he steering column or dash board. Since there is no separate unit besides the main unit it is not necessary to secure a place for installing any separate unit. Using a 4-direction switch with a center pushbutton and a rotary switch gets rid of the button-to-button distance and permits quick operations, thereby providing efficient operation of the unit
■Battery-less memory that can keep initial setup data in the memory even if the vehicle battery is disconnected
With the use of the EEPROM, the initial setup data is not lost unless initialization is perf ormed, even if the power supply is turned off or the vehicle battery is disconnected. The setting data, such as peak value and correction value, is never lost. Accordingly, if the vehicle battery is disconnected for service inspection, initial setup and settings do not need to be performed again and the data history is not lost
! CAUTION
●This product cannot be used for any application other than the vehicles mentioned in the separate Vehicle Specific Application Charts
●Note that noise interference may be caused to radio, TV, etc. depending on the mounting location of this product and the routing of the signal harness
●This product generates heat in the power ON status. This is not abnormal
6
■Storing two patterns of setting data in the memory
Two patterns of setting data including air correction factor, throttle opening, air correcti on engine revolution speed, deceleration air upper limit, etc. can be stored in the memory.
There are two files that can be stored in the memory. The setting data can be selected i n an instant according to each driving stage such as circuit driving, town driving, and wi nding driving. When driving on the same stage, two patterns of setting data can be com pared. These patterns of setting data can be used for various purposes
■Setting disable function by password
If the setting data or initial set points are changed by misoperation or mischief, the car c ondition may be deteriorated, or in the worst case, the engine may be damaged. In the S
AFC2 II, when the user sets a password optionally, changing the setting data or initial se tup items is disabled
■Warning function to make hazard known
It is possible to set warning values for the airflow using ratio, suction tube pressure, Kar man swirl sensor frequency, knocking, and engine revolution speed
When each item is set, the car condition can be precisely judged. The setting for the eng ine speed can also be used as a shift timing point
◆Knocking
Spontaneous ignition is caused by the heat and pressure of mixed air in the burning portion of non-combustion gas far from the plug and the heat of combustion chamber wall, so that the gas in the whole combustion chamber generates high-pressure waves momentarily. In this phenomenon, strong metallic noise is output from the engine unlike car knocking by which the car body becomes jerky, with the result that the valve is damaged and the piston is seized, thereby giving fatal damage to the engine.
As countermeasures, fuel adjustment, ignition timing adjustment, compression ratio adjustment, improvement of intake-side squish area, use of mirror type combustion room wall, and profile improvement of the exhaust-side cam shaft can be mentioned
! WARNING
●During driving, the driver must not operate this product in any case
It will interfere with driving operations or result in an accident
●On general public roads, observe the road and traffic law to drive the car carefully

Air correction factor setting (Throttle opening, large/small)
In the SAFC, the input
airflow signal
is converted into an
air volume value
and this value is corrected by the
air correction factor
. As an output signal, the corrected
air volume value
is converted back into an
airflow signal
and then this signal is output to the electronic control unit (ECU).
Accordingly, supposing that the correction factor is +10%, the ECU recognizes that the air volume has increased 10%, so fuel is increased about +10%.
For air correction factor setting, the air correction factor can be adjusted by 1% increments in the correction range of +50% to –50% for each engine RPM at 12 points. It can also be set according to the throttle opening level

Correction factor change due to throttle opening setting
When the throttle opening is set to Lo-10% and Hi-50%, the air correction factor at a throttle opening of 40% is as follows
● At a throttle opening of 50% or more, the air correction factor is equal to
Correction factor set at Hi-Thrt + 3%
● At a throttle opening of 10% or less, the air correction factor is equal to
Correction factor set at Lo-Thrt – 1%

If any setting is changed in these 4 items, the changed setting is automatically saved in the file (file in the ON status)
<Auto Save function >
In the initial status (at delivery from the factory), File 1 is set to ON and File 2 is set to OFF.
When File 2 is turned on, File 1 is turned off. At this time, the data saved in File 2 is loaded. When File 2 is tuned on for the first time, the initial (factory-set) data is loaded. If there is a history to indicate that the setting was previously changed by turning on File 2, the changed data is loaded at that time.
Because saving is performed by overwriting, the data to be loaded is the immediately saved data.
When File 1 is turned on, the same can be said
